The first round of testing has been complete...they drew TEN vials of blood. TEN! They tested for blood type, RH +/-, antibodies, anemia, HCG levels, etc etc etc. And the lab tech was nothing to write home about. Oh well. The worst of it's over. They also did a PPD (which was negative). The next round of blood work will have to do with gestational diabeties, which they tell me I have to be tested for since my Dad has diabetes...that won't be until much later...earlier if I show symptoms.
The morning of Grandma's funeral was the worst day by far...between nerves, the crappy breakfast, my hormones and my genetics, I was sicker than all hell...I was supposed to do a reading and I couldn't do it. I felt horrible...not only physically, but emotionally because I feel like I let my mom down. :-( And I know she'd beat me if she read this, but it's true.
One of the guys tried to bribe me to work a shift with alcohol :-P It was funny to see his face when I told him why that wouldn't work...Though I think I'll work it anyway...we'll see. It depends on what time I can get back from the wedding. I would have to be back here at 8am...that means leaving PA at 5:00am. Maybe I'll work 1/2 of it. We'll see.
